Yesterday and today were the best days of skiing in 2 years! As reported by many skiers. The groomers have been out daily, today Snow Cross and Pig Heart groomed for 4 hours and covered 67 km of trails, skating and new classic tracks. The wind wasn’t kind to the open areas but the majority of the trail groomed was wooded and skied very nicely.

HILLTOP House is open this weekend and Presidents weekend, Hilltop is also open next week feb 2-6, Hendrickson house is open feb 2-5 and March 24-26, 3 nights. 6 rustic cabins available next week sun-Thursday. I am working to keep the on line calendar updated at www.angelascabins.com

what a great weekend of skiing, snow globe Saturday conditions with 83 km groomed and sunny and 24 degrees today with the new snow groomed on 92 km of trails. Both Pisten Bullies were out grooming this morning along with 3 smaller groomers. The trails are in mint condition and classic tracks are as good as it gets. Skiers were very happy with conditions.

tomorrow wully bully and pig heart are headed out for touch up grooming in the morning, we are not resetting the classics, they are skiing very well.

waiting for trail pics from skiers today…

we received another 2 inches of snow last night and another 3 inches during the day after grooming! We had a groomer crew out early morning today enjoying grooming 80 k of trails. I had the pleasure of grooming in the larger Pisten Bully with a groomer from Madison, great conversation and company.

Many happy skiers today and skiers were quite pleased with conditions and the new snow falling “snow globe” as it was called. Rigonis Bakery came through with delivering 66 pasties at noon for Lunchbox Saturday. Suffolk Street Eatery is on schedule next Saturday.

Sunday morning we have a groomer crew of 4 and we are working on grooming all the trails again.

it is so nice to see the happy skiers! We have been blessed with good snow, as my friend, Jim would say.

trails groomed up well today we are skiing on all 92 km of trails and trails are skiing great!….these are the trail reports that I enjoy writing, great snow , everything groomed, good skis, recreational skiers enjoying the trails, snow hanging on the trees. Ridge runner is classic tommorow…check out the new design by Ken.

I have had such a great time grooming this year with the team. As you remember last year I was in a recliner much of the winter recovering from my last open heart surgery. Being back in the seat is certainly my happy place. 

Next year the ABR Trails nonprofit Foundation will be running the operations as Angela and I are retiring. But happily, they have asked me to fill the position of Chief Groomer. The team is joining me next ski season, so nothing will change with grooming.
